About
Iron Butterfly is a story about the kidnapping of the female Paramount Chief from Sierra Leone and the course of events that lead the daughter of a United States African-American diplomat to orchestrate her rescue. It is a story of conviction, faith, love, destiny and the wounds of war. It is based on events that took place between 1980 and 1992. The event that inspired the author to write Iron Butterfly occurred on the last day of her visit to Liberia. Through customs, the dead-eyes of the customs officer challenged her papers. She was only allowed to go through after the intervention of her Liberian friend.
